ocamlspotter support in core

[Yaron Minsky]

Well, you can't create spot files without a patched version of the
compiler, which seems unreasonable to expect.  You could imagine making the
configure script discover if you have an ocamlspotter-capable compiler
available, but I don't really know oasis well enough to do that myself.

The -annot flag gives you some help (you can figure out the types of
expressions), but not quite as much as ocamlspotter does.  I'm hoping we'll
get something ocamlspotter-ish into the compiler proper by 3.13...
